The facebook link what is the purpose ?

Can you check my link:
http://harta.net/places/malaysia-1/selangor/sa/developer-property/sp-setia-berhad/

1. What are we LIKE-ing ? Is it a page or something

2. Try pressing facebook button second time, it gets stuck.

Hi,

it works just like the share button. Whenever a user click that button, it shares the page on his Facebook wall.

Thanks

I dont think it works. Can you try it yourself the facebook link to see if it really shares on your own facebook wall ?

Hi,

yes it doesn’t seem like it’s working correctly and normally it should show a share button, not a like button.

I see the same in our demo, I asked to the developers to check if Facebook changed anything and we didn’t notice.

They’ll let you know asap.

Thanks for spotting this!

Hello Firdaus,

The social working button working as expected, it is Facebook like button to like the current viewing listing.
In previous version of GeoDirectory there was a share button which was handling sharing a listing link on different social media platforms including Facebook. But after GDPR compliance introduced we found that social share button may violates GDPR compliance, so we removed share button from detail page sidebar.

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi,

a share button/link is a static link with no need to interact via an API. No personal information are needed to share with the social network.
I don’t see any concern about GDPR. A link is not a personal information. If this would be no search engine would meet GDPR.

Firdaus: Social sharing is coming with most themes or you can use a 3rd party plugin.

Best,
Dirk

I agree with Dirk. Share has no concerns with GDPR, there no api interaction. Can you please look into it ?

Kiran: I dont understand what are we liking ? is that a facebook page ? where exactly it is liking on facebook ?

Thanks.

In V2 integrations with 3rd party plugins will be easier, as exemplified by Ninja Forms integration.

Any integration that is based on use of a custom field, as with Ninja Forms, can then be subject to pricing package rules.
